Damiano’s POV

Alessia’s eyes widened, and then she spun her head away, muttering, “Asshole,” under her breath.

But I caught it. I caught everything—the way her shoulders stiffened, the faint tremor in her voice, and most of all, that telltale pink spreading across her cheeks.

I couldn’t stop the smile tugging at my lips. I shouldn’t have been amused—not after everything we’d seen today, and we being in Catarina's room— but hell, there was something strangely grounding about watching Alessia flustered. The sight of her rolling her eyes at me, pretending to be annoyed, pretending like she didn’t care… yeah, it made the world feel a little less heavy.

And I had missed that. I had missed her.

After I told Leo what happened to Catarina, the man nearly lost it. He swore so loud that half the house probably thought we were being raided again. His anger wasn’t at me—not exactly—it was the helpless kind of anger. The kind that comes when you know someone you love got hurt and there was nothing

    Alessia's POV Before I could react, Damiano wrapped his hands around me."Where the heck do you think you are going to—again?"The depth in his voice made my heart skip a beat. "Um..." My voice broke. "I need to dress up before the others return.""They won't," He said firmly."And how are you so sure?" I asked, a smirk curving my lips.His deepened into a grin. "Because I told them I would break their bones beyond recovery if they interrupt us."I froze. What the...?I wasn't sure which bothered me the most: the fact that he made that kind of threat, or how he actually did it, because it didn't look like he was lying. "How did you... Do that?" I asked, curiosity tugging at me.He didn't say anything at first. Then his fingers moved, trailing circles on my bare back."I communicated with Cleo through our mindlinks," He said.Now, I was more confused. I know I had seen a few things in some movies, and also read about werewolves being able to talk to each other through their minds.

    Alessia's POV When we finally broke free, our breaths came outside ragged.“Don’t you think you’re a little overdressed?” He muttered.“I could say the same of you,” I giggled, ridding his body of the hospital gown. I helped him pull my t-shirt and as soon as I pulled my trousers and flung them away, he pressed me against the wall. His lips captured my mouth, nibbling playfully at my lower lip before trailing down my jaw and to the dip of my neck. He peppered kisses down to my chest, pulling at my bra with his teeth, before ripping the clothing off me with a snag of his hand. My breath caught—in a good way, and I leaned into the warmth coming from his body. In a moment, my feet were off the floor, and he carried me back to the large bed, gently laying me on it. When our eyes met, his was burning with desire. My breath hitched, and my nerves burned with hunger. He leaned closer, his breath ghosting over my ears. “Are you sure you want this?”I pulled his head to meet his lips, my

  • Claimed by the Mafia King    CHAPTER 115

    Alessia’s POVMy heart stopped.Then started again in a wild, chaotic rhythm.“Damiano…” I whispered, disbelief and relief crashing through me all at once.He squeezed my hand, eyes softening as he looked at me—really looked at me—as if waking up to find me there was the most natural thing in the world.For a heartbeat, no one else breathed.Then Leo lunged forward so fast he nearly tripped over a cord.Damiano let go of my arm as Leo approached. “Holy—Damiano, you bastard!” he barked, half laughing, half furious. “You scared the absolute shit out of us!”Julian was at the bedside next, one hand on Damiano’s shoulder, checking the machines, checking him, checking everything. Roman’s relief came out as a tight exhale, like he’d been holding it in for hours.Cleo blinked hard, then shoved at Damiano’s arm with a trembling hand. “Don’t ever do that again,” she muttered. “I swear I’ll sedate you myself next time.”They all worked together automatically, gently easing him upright, adjusti

  • Claimed by the Mafia King    Chapter 114

    Alessia's POV I stood by his side and took his hand in mine.His fingers felt cold in mine.A sharp sound tore out of me—half gasp, half sob. My vision blurred as tears finally spilled over.“Cleo…” My voice cracked so hard it barely escaped. “Is he… is he going to be okay?”Cleo exhaled shakily, rubbing her palms together as if unsure what to do with them.“I don’t know,” she admitted quietly. “A lot of the Sanguis Ash got into his bloodstream. It spreads faster in his kind, whatever he is. I managed to stabilize him, but…”Her throat bobbed.“But I don’t know when he’ll wake up. Or if he will.”The words landed like stones in my chest.I tightened my grip on his hand, leaning over him, letting my tears fall freely onto the back of his knuckles.“Damiano…” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Please. Please wake up…”Behind me, no one made a sound.Even the machines seemed to hush themselves, as if waiting—hoping—for any sign of him.But he didn’t move.And that silence was the loudest

  • Claimed by the Mafia King    Chapter 113

    Alessia's POV My heart thumped against my ribs with every new sight.Cleo glanced back over her shoulder, an amused tilt tugging at her mouth. “A hospital,” she said simply. “Well… our hospital.”“Our?” I repeated.“Yeah.” She gestured casually around us. “For creatures like us.”My eyebrows shot up. “Creatures like you, huh...”Cleo shrugged. “Yeah. Wolves. Vampires. Witches. Sirens. Hybrids. Anyone who doesn’t exactly shine in the human world.” Her voice softened, just slightly. “Humans usually don’t like our kind. Too many stereotypes. Too many fears. Too many ‘monster’ labels.”The look and smirk on her face were saying, 'Just like you.' But I ignored it. She waved a hand around the halls again. “So this place was built to treat supernatural injuries and house anyone who needs refuge. No judgment. No segregation. No pretending to be something we aren’t.”I opened my mouth to say something—anything—but words failed me. Again.Roman walked beside me, hands tucked casually in his p

  • Claimed by the Mafia King    Chapter 112

    Alessia's POV I shot awake.My body jerked forward so violently that the seatbelt locked hard against my chest. A strangled gasp tore out of me before I could stop it. My hands flew to my sternum, searching for the knife, for the wound, for anything. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing.Just the pounding of my heart. The cool leather beneath my fingertips. The breath I couldn’t seem to catch.“Alessia!” Leo twisted halfway around in the passenger seat, his voice sharp. “What happened?”Julian’s head snapped toward me from the front, his brows drawn tight. Cleo jolted upright beside me, hair wild and eyes wide.“You okay?” she asked, tone uncharacteristically gentle. “You look like you just saw a ghost.”I swallowed hard, but my throat felt scraped raw. The dream still pressed against the inside of my skull, pulsing, replaying.It felt real. It felt so damn real. The woman's smile. Damiano’s burning chest and how I could tell he was alive without going close to him. My own hand sta
